A Health Education minor is an interdisciplinary minor offered to any student at South Dakota State University; it may be of particular interest to those pursuing a teaching degree. The minor can be obtained by completing a required core and set of elective courses offered across several disciplines. One purpose of the Health Education minor is to enable those with a teaching degree to teach health education in schools in South Dakota; it also prepares students to pursue a major in health education in other states. All students interested in obtaining this minor must obtain written approval from the PETE Coordinator. A minimum final grade of “C” is required in each course taken in the minor.
